Forgo the End of Summer Blues!

 It is September and the end of summer is fast approaching! Don't let this get you down. You may be waving goodbye to summer but that does not mean you have to wave goodbye to fun outdoor activities! The beaches will be closing but there are still plenty of fun things to do outside to keep you and your family active! All you need to do is use your imagination and think outside the box!

Here is a list of some fun things to add to your to do list:

• Apple or Pumpkin picking -- it is fast becoming that time of year to visit your local orchards to pick apples, pumpkins and a variety of squash. The yummy fruits and vegetables can be used to cook up a wonderful dinner or healthy dessert!

• Most local newpapers list upcoming events. Check to see if there is a fair or walk/run for charity in the area. There are a lot of these types of events that take place in the fall. Also check out local museums and aquariums to see what interesting exhibits they have for the fall. It can be a great weekend activity to with the family or loved ones and get you all outside!
  

• Go for a scenic walk in the park  or local nature reserve. In September the temperature starts to cool down and makes it a little more comfortable to spend the day outside enjoying mother nature.

•  Wine tasting at a local vineyard is always a fun thing to do with friends or significant other. When wine tasting, you don't have to actually drink a lot of wine. You are given samples to taste and a sample is just enough to wet your palate. You don't have to worry about calories adding up. This is a great way to try something new and you might learn something new while you are at it! 

Get outside and have some fun. Do something that you have never done before. Don't be afraid to try something new. You never know until you try!
